Synopsis

It was a wall plaque in Beaumont Street that did it. I remember pulling back the foliage and reading with amazement that King John and Richard the Lionheart had both been born just a few feet away from the very spot where I was standing.

Then someone in a pub told me a story about the Empress Matilda escaping from Oxford Castle on a snowy winter’s night, dressed from head to toe in white.

Then I found out that the first ever hot air balloon flight in England had taken place in an Oxfordshire field close by …

And so it went on. The longer I’ve lived in Oxford the more I’ve discovered; and the more I’ve discovered the more it seems that nearly every event of national significance has found dramatic expression in our remarkable city. Thus was the website Morris Oxford born. And this Mini-History too.

See for yourself. You’ll be amazed at what’s happened here.

Onward and Oxford!
